The libidn's postin scriptlet just calls install-info and ldconfig. DNS says the libidn error is not fatal, so I suspect this is probably related to the cups error. $ rpm -ql cups | grep cups.socket /usr/lib/systemd/system/cups.socket cups.socket is correctly in cups-2.2.6-14.fc28 rpm. I suspect the error is in anaconda. Please, attach all files /tmp/*log with anaconda logs. Created attachment 1430778 [details]
Logs from /tmp
I explicitly excluded "libidn" (in the %packages section) and now the installation finished successfully. ``` %packages --excludedocs @core @base-x @fonts @multimedia @hardware-support @workstation-product @gnome-desktop -libidn %end ``` Added it back in and the error is back. I agree the postin scriptlet seems simple enough so maybe it's something else. I'm definitely seeing this only in libidn itself. The graphical installer shows a window with this: The following error occurred while installing. This is a fatal error and installation will be aborted. DNF error: Non-fatal POSTIN scriptlet failure in rpm package libidn [Exit Installer] Created attachment 1433234 [details]
/tmp/*.log
The reported DNF error is fatal (see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1565123). Reassigning back to libidn. Can you please try it with libidn-1.34-2.fc28 fixed for bug #1573961? https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2018-aae2d44488 I guess ldconfig could be failing due to the symbols having unexpected sizes. However, I'd expect it to at least print an error message. Command-line and graphical installer both fail with "DNF error: Non-fatal POSTIN scriptlet failure in rpm package libidn". However, if I go into a console in the graphical installer it seems to have installed successfully. # rpm -ivh /run/install/repo/Packages/libidn-1.34-2.fc28.x86_64.rpm --root /mnt/sysimage Preparing... package libidn-1.34-2.fc28.x86_64 is already installed I have %packages configured with --instLangs=en,en_US,en-US, and /usr/share/info/libidn.info.gz doesn't exist. I see that the original reporter has --excludedocs, so I'd guess the info file doesn't exist in his instance either. Thanks for the hints. I think you are right that it's an issue with the info files and not ldconfig. The %ldconfig macro does nothing on F28. install-info is the last command of the scriptlet and if that fails, the scriptlet will fail too. Confirmed installing without "--excludedocs" works here. ghostscript-9.23-4.fc28 libidn-1.34-3.fc28 mcabber-1.1.0-1.fc28.1 pidgin-2.13.0-1.fc28.1 python-slixmpp-1.3.0-5.fc28.1 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 28. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2018-aae2d44488 ghostscript-9.23-4.fc28 libidn-1.34-3.fc28 mcabber-1.1.0-1.fc28.1 pidgin-2.13.0-1.fc28.1 python-slixmpp-1.3.0-5.fc28.1 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 28. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2018-aae2d44488 Looks good here. ghostscript-9.23-4.fc28, libidn-1.34-3.fc28, mcabber-1.1.0-1.fc28.1, pidgin-2.13.0-1.fc28.1, python-slixmpp-1.3.0-5.fc28.1 has been pushed to the Fedora 28 testing repository.
